The mode and extent of rapid evolution and genomic change in response to human
harvesting are key conservation issues. Although experiments and models have shown a …

Little is known about how quickly natural populations adapt to changes in their environment
and how temporal and spatial variation in selection pressures interact to shape patterns of …

We report on evidence of long term stability inthe geographic pattern of geneticdifferentiation
among cod (Gadus morhua) collected from 5 spawning banks offNewfoundland and …

Life on Earth has been characterized by recurring cycles of ecological stasis and disruption,
relating biological eras to geological and climatic transitions through the history of our …

Worldwide, many commercial fish stocks have experienced dramatic declines due to
overfishing. Such fisheries-induced population reductions could potentially erode the …

By providing new approaches to the investigation of demographic and evolutionary
dynamics of wild populations, molecular genetics has led to fundamental changes in our …

Despite increasing evidence that current exploitation rates can contribute to shifts in life–
history traits and the collapse of marine fish stocks, few empirical studies have investigated …

Identification of genome-wide patterns of divergence provides insight on how genomes are
influenced by selection and can reveal the potential for local adaptation in spatially …

Selection can create complex patterns of adaptive differentiation among populations in the
wild that may be relevant to management. Atlantic cod in the Northwest Atlantic are at a …

Accurate prediction of species distribution shifts in the face of climate change requires a
sound understanding of population diversity and local adaptations. Previous modeling has …
